   Thanks for the advice. Yeah, my other option it seemed was to go with Rackspace dedicated managed hosting at over $1,000 per month, which is a little bit high for a startup's budget.

   That's the exact whitepaper I read, but it falls short of explicitly stating that they are HIPAA compliant. You see, HIPAA requires a certain amount of physical security (on premises at the data-center) on top of all of that electronic sec

   Not every problem "needs" a solution, or wants one for that matter. Good market research can help avoid these types of situations.

   If you read people's comments here two things are obvious: (1) Few people have little if any understanding of federal government contracting. This solicitation is the norm, get used to it if you want to earn big money in a market where few

   This is required by federal law. Contractors are required to reside in the US or be a US citizen. There is no outsourcing in the federal government for obvious security, quality, and political reasons. It is one of the reasons that while

   I like the idea, don't get me wrong. Call me paranoid, but I just like to know more about who I'm handing my information over to before I sign up for something. Thanks for looking into it.

   Case in point, the sign-up doesn't even work. I just get a very generic error message.

   It seemed like a good idea until I hit "contact" and it's just an email address. Not as credible as I'd prefer were I looking for more information about the company behind this since it could have legal implications regarding taking on wor

    Could it just be because Rails and Django are FRAMEWORKS and not just CMSs?

    That is absolutely not even close to true unless you are talking about solely non-technical types, who have no reason to even consider FRAMEWORKS like Rails and Django vs CMSs like Wordpress. Instagram, Pinterest, NASA, Disqus, Mozilla, The

    I've read a lot of these, and this one is by far the best. It makes sense and is drawn from actual experience. Its concise and practical, yet covers so many topics. Highly recommended. It should be a book!

    Django is a definite must have. People are finally starting to see the value in it and its powering some of the most heavily trafficked sites on the internet today (e.g. Pinterest, Instagram, etc.). Plus, the GIS tools in Django/PostgreSQ

    When are you going to support some enterprise-grade technologies like Python and PostgreSQL? Sure, those tools you have now are great for hobbyists and part-time hackers (with maybe the exception of Ruby), but a real dev sandbox should have

    Statistically speaking, the "young" startup founder is a complete stereotype. The over-50 crowd which this article refers to as "having the stench of death" actually starts and runs more successful startups than the under-30 crowd. So, to

    I actually got into Software Engineering this way. I started off working as a Systems Administrator, which required me to script jobs on servers/clients and, eventually, I inherited the entire intranet for the company which forced me to lea
